Hello friends. It’s that time of year again. Can you believe it’s been eight years since I started working on this website? I’ve had my ups and downs and I’ve managed to produce content through both. These next few months are going to be challenging as I’m working on some long-needed life changes but I work ahead so apart from my usual absentmindedness, there should be no interruption in posting.
There’s no commemorative strip this year. I’ve decided to scale back on those as I used to have two or three per year which made them less special. The next big milestone will be 1000 strips which will occur sometime during my tenth year of doing this. I have faith I’ll get there.
I’m happy to have progressed as an artist over the years. I do comparisons of the mash-ups all the time. This time I thought I’d compare a strip from the first year to one from this year. Since this year has been all about Big Oonch and Sass, I chose strips that feature them and Cyran, my first character.
So that’s the very first strip to include all three characters and the second most recent strip to feature them. Quite a jump. I’m still finding myself as an artist. The evolution never ends really so long as I keep on drawing.
Speaking of drawing, I want to get in a quick sketch for the next piece in this Ronin Warriors flashback set, since I didn’t get one done over the weekend. Have some good sevens and we’ll do this again soon! Take care!

Hey! It’s Sorry About That Saturday! Because I totally spaced on posting yesterday. I’ve got some stuff going on that I’ll talk more about in a future blog post.
So I decided to tackle the Ronin Warriors again. The originals were just alright at the time and I even wrote in the original post that I didn’t think I did a good enough job adapting the armor designs to fit my characters so they all had their proportions changed. I’m hoping I did a better job this time around. I know the pictures will look sharper. I’m not adding any of my traditional shading to the pictures. Some light cell shading is all I can manage right now. The armors are detailed enough you may want to click on the picture to see a closeup (if you like that kind of thing). Last thing, I’m sticking with the English dub names. And with that, let’s get started.
Here we have Zoë in the Wildfire armor. While she’s small, Zoë’s proportions fit the armor better than others. The longer legs help.
And to complete the flashback, let’s compare the new piece to the original which was done seven years ago. Right off the bat, I went with a simpler pose. Her face is much more recognizable with the helmet on now.
That’s it for this week. Next Friday, we’ll revisit the Armor of Halo. Have a good weekend!
